Tendulkar, who generally keeps himself away from playing T20 cricket for India, took the decision of playing in the shortest version of the game for India after South African cricket board requested him to take part in the match which has been arranged at the venue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of arrival of Indians.
The match will also be the last international outing for iconic South African player Makhaya Ntini, who decided to retire from international cricket a couple of months back.
